The structure of the facades is differentiated, the window shapes with a continuous vertical lintel varying in size and format, as well as the building heights.
The building is accessed from the west side via a 5-step, single-flight staircase. In the rounded part of the building protruding to the left, a large, high-rise rectangular window spanning all floors illuminates the stairwell behind.
A balcony on the south side that extends over the entire width of the house and a smaller one on the winter garden drawn in front of the building line (north side) as a plastic loosening of the building, which appears closed.
